single days are the collection of 48 hours for me now. i have been drawing consistently while maintaining many other aspects of my career and balancing a social life. it’s basically all merged into one. everything is golden in moderation. if you aim to keep focused then you will eventually accomplish a lot.

become aware of your “time” and how you chose to spend it. that might probably be the greatest tip i would give out to anyone seeking fulfillment in a non-traditional life-style.

it’s the beginning of the new year and i have walked into a gallery on Julia st. in New Orleans. i glanced at the writing on the walls upon entry and noticed “LEEAUX” cut onto vinyl. that alone scares me. it’s setting in how real this is. in December my art was also on www.gonola.com- i’m finally officially making my way into the art scene. it hasn’t been a year yet and i’m starting to rank in these art shows- none of it has been easy. at all. i often ask myself “how badly do you want this?” shortly after i’m hit with a reminder go big or go home and that’s always caused confusion. i’m finally warming up to a select few as well. i often find myself more introverted and to myself but that’s totally okay.

deep inside my mind i find myself- this late December and early January has been pandemonium.

i’ve successfully made my way to hanging artwork in another group showing in New Orleans, Louisiana. i’m beyond thrilled and consumed in a dream like state right now. this saturday a painting i shook together to hang for “Megalomania: Five” at the Boyd Satellite gallery on 440 Julia St.

this will be the second gallery showing, in frequented galleries, in less than a year. and again i’m tripping out to how this new year is starting. too thankful. all i really would like to do is continue connecting with galleries and perfecting my craft!

i miss south Texas so much, it was so surreal seeing the full moon in the gulf how i did, it was literally like i was living in a dream. a memory i want to return to sooner than later.

in 2014 me and a group of friends were sitting at a coffee shop in Shreveport while drawing and we decided to get up and travel down major cities in Texas selling artwork for gas money to make it to Corpus Christi.

one of my first real on the road experiences ever really. i had to learn how to travel in a big number, it was six total. haha i know we looked like goof balls.

the coolest part was selling artwork in each city. from Dallas to Austin, to San Antonio to Corpus Christi, meeting people and sharing our stories together, i wouldn’t have traded that experience for anything.
